The Misanthrope is set in the celebrity world of the arts and media. The play revolves around Alceste who hates hypocrisy and whose determination to tell the truth becomes as destructive as his friends' instinct to avoid it. With the help of Tony Harrison's witty translation, Moliere's bitingly satirical dissection of seventeenth-century French high society is given fresh life in this sparkling new production.| 19 Nov 02 to 20 Nov 02 | Hafren (formerly Theatre Hafren) Newtown, Powys Performance Details => Venue archive |
